[2025 Macau Restaurant] Travel Guide for Chiado (Updated Jun)

Of course, I have to try the Portuguese restaurant in Macau. I chose the second floor of the Golden Sands Restaurant in a group of Portuguese restaurants. From the Venetian, you can go straight through. The chef of this restaurant, Pessoa, is the star of the Portuguese Michelin restaurant. Level chef. Chiado is already a very famous restaurant in Lisbon, Portugal, and has finally arrived in Macau. They ordered their most popular 24-hour slow-cooked suckling pigs and Ma Jiexiu, which is the staple food of Portugal.

Discover a hidden gem at The Londoner Macau! Chiado Portuguese Restaurant, led by a Michelin two-star chef, exudes sophistication from its ambiance to its dishes. Dining with four friends, we ordered two sets each of the **"Chiado Tasting Journey" and "Chiado Ocean Feast" menus to fully immerse ourselves in the charm of Portuguese cuisine. Every dish in the set menu is crafted like a piece of art. From the perfectly cooked meat dishes to the fresh and flavorful seafood creations, the chef's expertise shines through in every bite, delivering delightful surprises. The rich Portuguese sauces, fresh seafood ingredients, paired with specially made bread and desserts, elevate the dining experience to the next level! The ambiance is equally impressive, with vintage and elegant decor complemented by soft lighting, creating an ultra-romantic atmosphere💕. However, do note that the serving speed is relatively slow, but the exquisite food is worth the wait! It's perfect for a romantic date or a casual gathering with friends, where you can savor the food and enjoy leisurely conversations. Can't wait to return for another dose of Portuguese romance! 📍Inside The Londoner Macau Chiado Portuguese Restaurant at The Londoner
